P. 222 ; Projection DAHANI. I, 2020). The central market of this city was created between 1395 to 1439. The activities of this market play a role in urban development, through its social, economic, political and urban function. It catalyzes urban life and increases the dynamics in this space.

Thus, the analysis of this urban contribution shows that this market is an important lever in the economic and social development of the said city.
